The Twin Cities Metro Transit runs a Light Rail train between the MSP airport, downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota. You can very easily take the train from the airport right to campus by taking the blue line from "MSP airport stations" to "US Bank Stadium" station in downtown Minneapolis, change trains at "US Bank Stadium" station to the green line train heading east and get off at "East Bank Station." The commons hotel is right in front of the "East Bank Station" light rail stop, and the tennis center is just 4-6 blocks north.

The Graduate Hotel Minneapolis, is the official tournament hotel of the Baseline Tennis Center.

General info on the hotel can be found by clicking "more info" below. To book a room, please visit this link:

The Graduate Hotel is within walking distance of the Baseline Tennis Center. It is also located on the Twin Cities Metro Transit Light Rail System. The light rail system allows passengers to board at the MSP International Airport and be dropped off right at the front door of the hotel. i.e. No rental car is necessary for your trip to Minnesota.


Any hotel listed in the downtown or University areas would be the closest options. Anything in the Roseville area would be about a 15 minute drive to campus. The closest options are as follows:
